STRAIGHTENING HISTORY
The first question that is asked when clients hear about Japanese Hair Straightening/Thermal Reconditioning, is "Why do the Japanese need a relaxer? They already have straight hair!" Contrary to popular belief, a high percentage of the Japanese population has a wavy or kinky curl to their hair.
Yuko™ was the very first Thermal Reconditioning system. Both Liscio and Yuko™ products contain similar ingredients, however, Yuko System™ only has one solution strength, which makes it hard to use on different hair types. In 1996, a Japanese company developed Liscio™ a solution designed to straighten kinky or frizzy hair. Unlike traditional relaxers containing harsh chemicals, Liscio solution is gentler to the hair. It has specially formulated with ingredients that help to protect and to repair hair from heat damage utilizing protein treatments and supporting products for the thermal reconditioning procedures.
Liscio was first introduced to American consumers in 1998 and was welcomed by women who longed to have pin-straight hair, leading the way to many other excellent brands to evolve.
